Aliaa Magda Elmahdy, is a 20-year-old university student in Egypt. She maintains a blog and on Sunday, 23 rd of October, she posted nude photos of herself to show her “screams against a society of violence, racism, sexism, sexual harassment and hypocrisy”. This is significant, especially at a time when Islamists in Egypt are trying to secure power.

It takes the sacrifices of courageous people like Aliaa to challenge the thinking that tyrannises so many people in her part of the world. Click here to visit Aliaa Magda Elmahdy Blog.
